    Hi please help

    Hi guys, I drive a 2013 polo 6r gti auto DSG 7 speed. I'm having a pretty weird problem, when I really drive the car hard it is perfect for about 5kms(after that I suppose it starts to really heat up) then when I drive it is okay in 1st and second but in third at about 3000rpm I loose power(still accelerates but not with the power it usually does) Once I stop the car and start from first again the cycle simply repeats. I have plugged my obdeleven in and see there are two faults with the tranny(clutch 1 and 2 "clearance too small") after I clear these codes the car is fine and the codes don't appear again but the problem still persists. Do you guys have any suggestions,please help me out I'm going crazy here.

    Drive it like you own it not like you stole it. Sounds like clutches are heating up and slipping. That gearbox is not known for its ability to withstand abuse
